Parilya

Having not ever had a ton of Filipino food, I was anxious to give this place a try as it is very close to where I work. Came in on a weekday, to sit down and have a meal there. The menu looks extensive, and it appears (given the size of the kitchen prep area) that they do a fair amount of catering and/or food truck business...it is extensive!The format is fast-casual, and the folks working there were very eager and patient to share and explain the available dishes. I settled on a fan favorite, the chicken tocino. It is an overflowing plate of grilled marinated chicken (with a pineapple glaze) that comes with garlic fried rice, pickled veggies and then gets topped with a fried egg. Breaking open that unctuous runny egg over the top and combining all of the above pieces / parts into one bite was simply heavenly! So much food in the dish, it was hard to finish...but I did. ;-)Excited to get back and explore the menu a bit more deeply to see what other treasures I can uncover. So glad they are on the scene in Olmsted Falls!

10/10 - This is hands down the best Filipino food in Cleveland! I drove 45 minutes because my friend and I were craving it, and it was absolutely worth it. We definitely over-ordered, but the portions are huge for the price. Between the two of us, we spent about $30 each, which is a great deal.The desserts are fantastic too! The staff was friendly and patient as we decided what to order. Since the food is made fresh, I'd recommend calling ahead if you're doing takeout and in a hurry. My favorites are the pancit noodles and lechon, but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.If you're planning to dine in, just be aware there are only about four tables available.

You can never go wrong with the chicken torino here. Juicy, tender, and big portions of chicken & garlic fried rice for the price ($16).During my recent visit, I also tried one of the specials they were offering - Jollibee-inspired spaghetti with fried chicken wings & gravy ($18). The spaghetti was covered in a delicious tomato sauce infused with banana ketchup & had lots of ground beef & some sausage. The fried chicken wings were cooked perfectly - crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and fantastic when drenched in the rich tasty gravy.Service - super friendly. We had a lot of leftover spaghetti sauce and didn't want it to go to waste, so we asked if they could give us a little bit of white rice to soak up the sauce and they were nice enough to give us a scoop on the house. Ambiance - primarily a takeout joint, but they do have a few tables for customers who want to eat inside the restaurant. No restrooms, but you can go to the nearby Drug Mart, which is a short walk away

In an unsuspecting plaza, find the most authentic Filipino food with biweekly specials, an array of snacks, and incredible fruit-inspired beverage options. By suggestion of my Filipino cousin, we ordered the chicken tocino: grilled chicken with a sweet pineapple marinade (similar in flavor to Korean bbq) served over their garlic rice with an over-easy egg and pickled veggies. For another range of flavors, we also ordered the pork sisig: chargrilled pork with sweet and spicy peppers, peppery, garlicky, and savory served with an over-easy egg. Let me tell you, they've mastered this egg business. I had to order their vegetable pancit, to see how it compared to my cousins and gotta say it couldn't compare but I'll be back for more of the rest. It is limited in seating inside with about 5 tables. The location is kept clean and everything is served in takeout containers-which you would be asking for anyway since portions are big and you'll be walking away with the best leftovers. I missed trying out any of their homemade desserts, but I'll be back for sure! Luckily, I'm dangerously close to Lakewood Truck Park and look forward to catching them in their original truck

Cashier was very friendly. They have a couple tables inside to eat but ordered takeout. Came on a Wednesday around 7pm and they were sold out of a couple things, popular spot!the food took 15 minutes to prepare so very quick. The kitchen is open so you can see them making it, meat all cooked to order. I got the BBQ chicken so very delicious, nice balance of sweet and savory. I got three servings out of it! My husband got the Pork Sisig and had a nice kick to it! We shared the Ube cookie and it was so soft. The perfect amount of Ube in it. Great authentic spot!

Yum! I appreciate Parilya setting the bar high for my first Filipino food experience. I went on a Friday afternoon around 5pm with a friend and there was a steady stream of customers coming for takeout orders which is a great sign. My friend and I ordered several different items to share from the menu to experience as much as we could.My favorites, by far, were the: - Fried chicken (seasoned well, crunchy, and still moist)- Spaghetti (I don't eat beef or pork so I stayed away from the meat but the sauce and noodles were delicious!)- Bbq chicken and pickled veggies (exactly as described!) We also grabbed two cookies and...listen...these are worth the calories! Treat yourself because it is worth it.Looking forward to returning and trying more Filipino food soon. Never should have waited so long!

Parilya is primarily set up for takeout orders, but the restaurant does have a few tables for customers who wish to dine in.My friends and I decided to share 3 dishes: chicken tocino, BBQ chicken, and adobo pasta. The chicken dishes are items on Parilya's permanent menu while the pasta was a special they were offering at the time. We also split dessert: 2 loaves of Spanish bread and ube flan cake.Every single thing we had was delicious.As we waited for the staff to cook the chicken dishes and pasta, we tried the Spanish bread and ube flan cake. The Spanish bread was soft, not too dense, and not overwhelmingly sweet. Inside the bread was a scrumptious filling made out of butter and brown sugar.The ube flan cake was also fantastic. The dessert consisted of two layers. On top was a layer of rich moist ube cake, and underneath the cake was an even richer thick layer of creamy flan. The dessert was a bit too sweet and rich for my friends, but I, as a self-proclaimed sugar fiend, found the dessert delightful and was all too happy to polish off the sweet treat.Within a few minutes, the savory dishes were ready. First, we tried the BBQ chicken, which came with a large portion of meat, a generous portion of garlic fried rice, and some pickled vegetables. The meat was tender and juicy while having a tasty smoky yet subtly sweet flavor. The chicken tocino was likewise delicious. It was just as great as the first time I'd ordered it - equally as juicy and tender as the BBQ chicken while having a tangy, slightly sweet flavor from pineapple juice. The chicken tocino also came with garlic fried rice and pickled veggies as well as a fried egg.The adobo pasta was a pleasant surprise and showed that vegan is not a synonym for bland. It consisted of spaghetti noodles, little cubes of tofu, and various veggies. Though it had zero meat, it was full of flavor due to the delectable sweet and savory adobo sauce that covered the noodles.By the end of our meal, we were stuffed. Considering how generous and filling the portions were (and they were very much so), the meal was more than reasonably priced. The total came to be around $60, so about $20 a person.And for food this good, I would be more than happy to pay that again and again.

The Gourmet Gastronauts strikes again with our food group coming here! So one downfall is this place does not take reservations and the seating is limited so with a group of 8 we had to wait till people left so we could grab the tables. With that being said the food was amazing. Our food group said we all would come back. You order at the counter and it did take some time and some items they were out of but overall they have wonderful options. There is outdoor seating too if you do go on a nice day. Part of their menu changes biweekly too so one positive if you become a frequent visitor!

So good! The bbq chicken is delicious with the garlic fried rice. Inside is small with a few tables.

Great spot with a wonderful ambiance!The food was delicious and the staff were super friendly and welcoming - they described the food and were very patient with those ordering that were not sure what to select.Highly recommend the crispy tofu and the pancit
